■ Caution:
To protect the blade from rust during shipment, we apply a specialized varnish coating. As a result, the cutting performance may initially feel diminished.
The varnish will gradually wear off through regular use, but if you wish to experience the blade’s true sharpness sooner, it can be removed using nail polish remover or a similar lacquer thinner.
Please note that once the varnish is removed, the blade becomes more susceptible to rust.
We recommend thoroughly wiping off moisture after use and applying camellia oil or similar protective oil to maintain its condition.

Import duties; taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
